WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Blue Jays Steal Win From Garnet
BALTIMORE — A battle among two of the best front-court duos in the Centennial developed as expected, yet it was the back court play that was the deciding factor in a 78-45 Johns Hopkins victory over Swarthmore in Centennial womenÃs basketball action Saturday afternoon at Goldfarb Gymnasium. Playing on the road for the first time this season, Swarthmore (2-3 overall, 1-1 CC) was led by freshman forward Kathryn Stockbower who collected her fourth double-double in five games, scoring a game-high 15 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Teammate Karen Berk Ã08 also tallied a double-double (the 34th of her career), posting 10 points and 11 rebounds while freshman wing Ceylan Bodurcontributed 11 points and six boards.

BALTIMORE–Swarthmore (2-3, 0-2 CC) senior center Ian McCormick posted the 21st double-double of his career, yet cold shooting did in the Garnet men on Saturday afternoon, as Johns Hopkins (2-3 overall, 1-1 CC) cruised to a 73-59 victory in Centennial basketball action at Goldfarb Gymnasium. McCormick finished the afternoon with team-highs of 19 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks while classmate Steve Wolf added 11 points and seven rebounds.
